[ hmm. she nods. ]

That's also gonna depend on whatever we learn.

[guestservices]

[they nod]

That makes sense. So take it one day at a time, right?

[stillnot]

That a motto of yours?

[guestservices]

Not a motto, exactly - but a way of getting through things that I've used a lot in my time.

[stillnot]

[ haha i just noticed your icon fuck up ]

It's a pretty good one.

[guestservices]

[let me live]

Yeah, I think so! ...obviously, I guess, or I wouldn't have said it.

[stillnot]

Did it come from somewhere?

[guestservices]

[with a world-weary sigh:]

Experience.

[stillnot]

What kind?

[guestservices]

Unpleasant experience!

[stillnot]

Well, yeah.

But in places like this that could mean anything from... Having a fight with a friend to your planet getting destroyed or something.

[guestservices]

I guess it does cover a wide range of things, doesn't it?

[stillnot]

And we never know if there are things you don't want to talk about or just can't talk about.

[guestservices]

Unfortunately, that's how things are here.

But I'd like to talk about the things I can talk about with you!

[stillnot]

Oh yeah? Me too.

[ hmmm. oh! ]

Since some of you are picky, what kind of tip do you like to get?

[guestservices]

Oh, no. The honest answer here is that I'm not actually all that picky... I'm just happy anyone wants to leave me a tip at all!

But, I like cute things, I guess?

[stillnot]

Not picky is good, and cute things is easier than money.

[guestservices]

Yeah, it's hard to leave money as a tip when your wallets all got left behind wherever you were before.

[stillnot]

And some of us don't even have wallets.

[guestservices]

That makes it harder, too.

If someone left you a tip, what would you want it to be?

[stillnot]

You guys already know so much about us that I shouldn't have to answer questions.

[ but ]

Food. Or bullets. Batteries aren't bad to have, either.

[guestservices]

We've got your files, and I've skimmed them, sure... but I prefer to get to know people by talking to them rather than just reading about them.

[they shrug]

That makes sense, though. It's all practical stuff.

[stillnot]

Fair enough.

I guess... I also like decorations. Stuff to put up in my room, you know?

[guestservices]

Things that make it a little more personal?

[stillnot]

Yeah. Back home I have some cool skulls and fake flowers, and some drawings hung up.
